Neptune No. 5 , 2014
60 x 60 x 3 cm (h x w x d)
3D Mixed Media on polymeric material + 24kt Gold
unavailable

This collection is dedicated to the god Neptune, king of the seas. Neptune is a symbol for deepness and unconsciousness. Like in the collections “Work” and “Gold of the Earth” an invitation to deep inner questioning is present, with a more meditative attitude bound to abandon, in order to find the golden treasure hidden inside each one of us. To find the treasure we must plunge into the depths of the sea, metaphor of our dark side, facing all the risks that this entails, but the reward that awaits us is certain. Shape and color are related to the Yin side of the universe.

Technique: board of polymeric material melted with fire and/or hot air (800 °C); applications of gesso; painted with acrylic and enamels; inclusions of stones, and 24kt gold.
